I am me because of who I was.

I'm still a kid, and I intend to be for a long time. I'm new to this whole "blogging" fad, obviously. I believe in being the servant, instead of the served. If you can carry on a legitimate conversation, you're already about twelve times better than the people I know. I follow a loving and forgiving risen Savior. If you have an interest in fitness, sports, music, or photography; I'm pretty sure we can be friends.

I don't have a clear picture of what my blog is going to be all about. Yet. I know my weight loss journey will be a factor. I'm not one to put my weight out there, but I currently weigh 145 lbs. I started 75 lbs heavier. If I wasn't typing, my fingers would be crossed that anyone reading this is terrible at math.

This was me. I'm the one front and center. The one in stripes.

The convict. And that's how I felt. I was trapped inside my own

body. I lived a life of self-hate and fake smiles. If it sounds like

you, keep up with my blog. I want to change that. I want to inspire.

You ARE beautiful.

.This is me now. About a year and a half and 75 lbs later, I

attended Jr. prom with one of my best dude friends, Zach.

Anyone who has ever been to prom knows it's the lamest thing

ever, but putting on that dress made me realize something,

I am superwoman. I am more than what I give myself credit for.
